Maths & Manipulatives







The girls got straight into the new resources we bought at Spotlight yesterday, so we spent some time revising number 2 for Maitlyn, (she doesn't yet know 2, 3, 7, & 10 very well) and number 11 - 20 for Braylee.




Maitlyn revising number 2 - she coloured it in rainbow colour stripes. Worksheet from http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/numbertime/print/writing_numbers/index.shtml
Braylee sorting the new manipulatives into groups of three. She discovered that 4 groups of 3 make a total of 12 (4x3=12).
Playing a game of Concentration (or Memory) with the numbers 0-12. They had to call out the numbers as they turned them over. They enjoyed this - especially Braylee, she won.
Braylee loves this activity with geometric shapes that you hammer into the cork board with little tacks - she must have used it 4 times in the one day. Great buy from the second-hand kids shop at just AU$4 .

How very blessed your girls are to have you home schooling them. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. I don't know how you have time to do scrapbooking with little ones and home schooling. Wow. Thanks again and have a wonderful week.

They had to match & name the floral emblems with the right states.

After looking at the floral emblems of Australia, the girls wanted to discover what leaves they could find and indentify the shapes.

Maitlyn very proud of her school work and Braylee did this great Ken Done-looking dot-to-dot drawing of the map of Australia wth icons for each state.
